Judge To Hear Arguments On S.D. Abortion Law Requiring Statement That Procedure Ends Human Life
A federal judge will hear oral arguments on July 17 regarding a lawsuit challenging a South Dakota law that requires doctors to tell women seeking abortions that the procedure will end a human life, the AP/Sioux City Journal reports. Planned Parenthood, which operates the state"s only abortion clinic, appealed the law after it was passed in 2005. U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier temporarily prevented the law from going into effect, but the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2008 overruled that order, and the state began enforcing the law. According to the AP/Journal, Schreier will decide during the hearing whether to grant motions for summary judgment and will consider Planned Parenthood"s request to stop the state from imposing sanctions over the law"s requirements (AP/Sioux City Journal, 6/26).

New Orleans HIV Awareness Billboards Sparking Controversy

A billboard campaign in New Orleans that seeks to raise awareness of HIV has sparked controversy as some residents consider the ads - which feature characters that represent specific sexually transmitted infections - offensive, WDSU.com reports. The campaign, run by St. John Faith Church, features a group of so-called "HIV prevention mobsters." The group, which has several billboards across the city, contends that the campaign is effective because there has been an increase in the number of people calling the church seeking information about HIV testing (WDSU.com, 6/5).
